Casey Holihan Noe and her husband John, along with many other drivers, had been stranded(使滞留) on Highway I-95 for over 20 hours and noticed that a Schmidt Baking truck was also stuck out on the road with them.
“After almost 21 hours of being stuck on the road, sleeping here over night, not having food or water, and all of the nearest towns being out of power, we were tired and hungry,” Casey said. “Many of the cars stuck here were carrying children and elderly people who had hardly eaten anything all day.”
So, they decided to call Schmidt Baking Company in Baltimore in the hope that maybe it would be willing to offer whatever products were on the truck. “We reached out to Schmidt Baking Company and begged them to open their truck that was stuck out here with us. We didn’t think it would actually work, but less than 20 minutes later we got a big surprise,” she said.
Chuck Paterakis, one of the owners of H&S Bakery, which operates Schmidt Baking Company, called the couple directly.
“We received a personal call from the owner of the company Chuck who contacted the driver. This driver Ron Hill opened the back of the truck and with the help of some people nearby handed out bread to more than 50 cars who were all incredibly thankful,” Casey said.
About 300 packages of bread were handed out that day. Some families had children who had not eaten for hours on end. “This was one of the kindest moments I have ever seen. Everyone was so thankful.” Casey said.
